Grandfather Mountain

This weekend we had the chance the visit the popular Grandfather Mtn for only a dollar! Locals get dollar days in April and we went to see all the tourist attractions. The swinging bridege was the was highlight at over 5,000 feet. The winds were above 50mph and the bridge was swinging. It was sad to see how they had habituated the bears allowing people to feed them. Although they have worked hard with the bear introduction programs in the Blue Ridge, the feeding of bears was unacceptable. We hope to return to the area and do some back country hiking this summer. What a great place in our backyard!
